In all my years in business I can recall very few people I have wanted to fire for making mistakes.
Akio Morita·1986...if you are nothing but profit-conscious, you cannot see the opportunities ahead.
Alexis de Tocqueville·1835I know of no country, indeed, where the love of money has taken stronger hold on the affections of men, and where the profounder contempt is expressed for the theory of the permanent equality of property.
Andrew Carnegie·1889The man who dies rich dies disgraced.
